Dam half-sister to the yard's very useful Court Minstrel, and this one has shown more than enough in two starts to think he can take a hand in the finish here. Ground and track should be fine and every chance of success.

Dam a full sister to the useful hurdler Lieutenant Miller, but this one was a bit disappointing on debut at Newton Abbot last month, fading rather quickly. Yard 1-5 in bumpers here last five years. May improve.

Half-brother to useful hurdle winners Hello Sweetie and Close Shave, didn't to too badly when fourth on debut at Towcester and this less demanding track may help. Yard 1-6 with their bumper runners here last five years.

Yard 5-10 in bumpers here last five years, so has that as a very positive stat, and this is the first start for them after leaving Tom Lacey. May leave previous form behind and is worth a look in the market.

Verdict

Cora Sundrop is given plenty of respect on her debut for Warren Greatrex, who does so well with his bumper runners here, but COURT ROYALE has the form in the book and can put his experience to good use. Colonel Miller and Pleney may both do better this time too.
